About the role: Are you passionate about education and committed to supporting young adults with special needs? A wonderful opportunity awaits for a Student Support Assistant (SSA) to join our highly regarded college in Southgate, Enfield.

This is a full-time, 4-day-per-week position, where you will work closely with students to help them develop their independence and reach their potential. You will be involved in assisting with personal care, such as toileting, so experience in a care role is advantageous.

With over 13,000 students, we provide an unparalleled educational experience in state-of-the-art facilities.

Application Requirements:

• Previous experience in supporting young adults with SEN, particularly those with PMLD, MLD, and autism.
• A care background is highly desirable, with experience in personal care and toileting.
• A patient and empathetic approach to helping students overcome challenges.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team.
• A commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment for all students.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support students with a range of physical and learning disabilities, ensuring they have access to the resources they need.
• Assist non-verbal students in communicating through alternative methods, such as tablets and visual aids.
• Collaborate with SLTs (Speech and Language Therapists) and other staff members to deliver effective and personalized support.
• Provide compassionate assistance with personal care tasks, including toileting, ensuring student dignity and comfort.
• Encourage students’ social, emotional, and academic growth in a safe, supportive environment.

Perks and Benefits:

• Earn between £85-£110 per day, with room for growth and development.
• Work in an inspiring, modern educational setting with cutting-edge facilities.
• Access to ongoing professional development and CPD opportunities.
• Be part of a supportive, welcoming team that values every staff member's contribution.
• Make a real difference in the lives of young people as they pursue their academic and personal goals.
